In the event that you have not yet been for the Holy Journey or are anticipating performing it for the absolute first time, your brain is likely overflowing with questions and lovely tension concerning what sort of experience to anticipate. You have additionally likely heard stories from those of your loved ones who have educated you concerning everything from the exhibition that is the Blessed Kaaba to the tumult which commonly follows are a piece of the excursion. I have had the Blessing from Allah to have the option to perform Hajj twice, and I have been motivated each time in various manners.
Actually regardless of how much data you attempt to attract or attempt to get acclaimed to the excursion in advance, you will essentially need to experience it to truly comprehend what Hajj is about. You will make sense of the “procedure” and “agenda” part – that is simple. I simply need to share some general direction which I continued reasoning that I would impart to other people while I was on my Hajj venture.
I can affirm that Hajj is one more one of the Blessed Signs of Allah, absolutely the signs which He specifies in the Holy Quran. Hajj is a battle, it is an impressive exercise in tolerance, it brings physical inconvenience and it truly removes you from your usual range of familiarity. It resembles life itself: where all the difficulties and tests which Allah intermittently sends our approach to test our will and confidence in Him and Him Only. You will experience plentiful cases all through your whole excursion which will make you question “Why?” You will experience disorder and disarray a few stages of the way. In spite of the entirety of this, the focal thing you have to recall is “My solitary objective is to pick up Allah’s absolution and His Ultimate Consent with me when I leave here”. What’s more, to accomplish this, you should slice through a LOT of messiness and need to try it head-on with nerves of steel and a boundless gracefully of continuance.
You will experience individuals from a range of various societies and you will watch every single one of them experiencing their experience the manner in which their experience and culture would have shaped them to experience it – and it won’t be in a state of harmony with how you would anticipate that yourself should act. Show restraint – comprehend what they are accustomed to. All stated, every Hajji has been drawn there for a similar reason – to pick up the assent of their Sustainer – He who brought every one of them into the world and has arranged sustenance for every one of them for ordinarily of their lives and find out about every one of them than they think about themselves. This is the thing that joins all the Hajjis – regardless of what else comes in the manner.
On the off chance that you find the opportunity, supplicate every Salah in Masjid-e-Haram, particularly the Fajr petition. While in supplication, attempt to get a brief look at how the mass of individuals unites towards the Ka’bah in surrender. In the middle of the takbeers of the Salah, when there is pin-drop quietness notwithstanding the crowds of individuals close by in the edge, attempt to recall that a very long time prior it was directly here where the Prophet Ibrahim (RTA) looked for Allah’s Help and His Forgiveness; and it was here where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) returned successful following quite a while of hostility just by the Will and Guidance of Allah, pardoning his examiners.
I think the genuine prize of Hajj – the one I contemplate upon their arrival – is the feeling of accomplishment that comes after they complete the excursion – basically on the grounds that the excursion itself is such a test. It’s the very same feeling of accomplishment and daintiness of the spirit one encounters subsequent to breaking their quick, or asking the Fajr supplication, or making a special effort to help somebody out of luck. My solitary exhortation to you is – regardless of what occurs during your Blessed Journey – regardless of whether very disagreeable – simply recollect, it is only an open door legitimately from Allah for you to demonstrate that nothing will deflect you from picking up His Ultimate Consent – and InshAllah start life once again upon your arrival.
